All air guitarists in the Greater Central New York area are welcome to strut their stuff—real guitars not permitted—before a panel of Central New York celebrity judges. The winner will gain local fame and admiration and a spot at the U.S. Air Guitar Regional Competition in June, plus funds to support the trip.

Competitors are encouraged to pre-register by emailing Sydney Hutchinson, assistant professor of ethnomusicology in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences. Competitors must bring to the competition their one-minute songs on a CD. Competition rules are located on the U.S. Air Guitar website. Further information about the Syracuse competition can be found on the Syracuse Air Guitar blog.
